# CaptionAddr vs CapScribe

The clearest difference is update cadence: CapScribe at daily against CaptionAddr's monthly. CapScribe also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). CaptionAddr's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CaptionAddr sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.99 per month and CapScribe sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CapScribe holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CaptionAddr has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

CaptionAddr ships an update monthly, CapScribe daily. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
